Real of fake

Sometimes you find a hell of a deal, and sometimes you get scammed. Found this for $1200 is it real or a fake?

If you can't tell, does it matter?

If a tree falls...

If somebody tries to break a piece of plywood over the head of their friend, and nobody is there to record it...

I think it's a fake...bezel, movement and movement finishing. But I am highly suspicious!🤣

·

I hope it’s not if you already paid for it. 😅

Sorry to say, but I believe it is a bad rep. The first giveaway for me is the “Deep Black” on the case back. The Seamaster Deep Black series is, well, black.

An original case back (which is much less bulky) looks like this:

The second is the date wheel. Way too far inward on the dial, which is usually a sign of a rep. Most do not spot it, but once you know to look for it, it is a sign of a lesser movement. Then, there is the fact it is not color matched. I could not find any image or a genuine one with a white date wheel.

Another is the GMT hand, not sure if there is a black and white GMT bezel or a black and steel GMT with an orange GMT hand. There are more, but why belabor it. Sorry, if you already purchased it, hopefully you can return it or file a claim against the seller.

If it sounds too good to be true...

Watch in question:

Real watch:

On the real watch the G for GMT aligns with ea while the watch in question the G is more to the right and font looks more white vs silver.

Watch in question bezel is silver

Image

Vs

Real watch: white bezel

And finally the dead give away the watch is selling for 200 bucks

If you can get your money back. If you can't just take the L and wear the watch no one is going to know is fake anyways. With watches like those buy the seller not the watch.

The undecorated plate of the movement is also a dead giveaway

Is it right to say that all of the Omega watches now have the Planet Omega logo etched onto the underside of one of the lugs?

Fake unfortunately.

·

A fake and a bad one too. Just look at the movement.

It’s fake, the finishing on the rotor is off. But if you like it just wear it.
